if you're not misstepping, you're probably not asking enough of yourself.

You're probably not putting yourself into challenging spaces that will get, you know,

that second win that the next level out of you.

So it's just at this point, I'm like,

I look for the ups and downs because that means that I'm in the right place.

Yeah. I'm in the right place.

Hey, everyone.

Emily Abadi here bringing you episode 136 of hurdle.

A wellness focused podcast where I sit down with inspiring individuals to talk about everything from their big wins to how they've gotten through some of life's toughest moments.

On the show, you can expect vulnerability, motivation, and candid discussions with everyone

from top athletes to aspiring entrepreneurs on what

it really takes to follow your passions. My mission is simple to inspire you to be your best self

move with intention and have some fun along the way. For today's episode, I am chatting with Mariel Hall. She's an Olympic runner

training with the Bowerman Track Club and such a light. We, it's crazy. We had this conversation

on Thursday of last week. This episode is launching on November 9th, 2020. And man, so much has happened in just such a short amount of time.

We chat about her East Coast upbringing and running and college at Texas, her path

to the 2016 Olympic Games and how she feels about the pushback of the upcoming Olympics.

She chats with me about what it was like, training solo over on the East Coast and then moving over to train with the Bowerman Track Club in 2017.

We swap stories about handling the coronavirus pandemic living alone and talk about the things that excite us

right now, the silver linings of 2020, and just so much more. Before we get into the swing of

things, I do want to take a moment to give some love to my friends at Beam. Y'all have heard me talk about Beam before,

and that's because I love it.
